Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Wednesday the Israeli regime is in no position to call Iran a threat to the Middle East, stressing the development of the country’s missile program is aimed at safeguarding peace and security.

An Israeli military official says killing Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement, would be a “decisive victory” in the regime’s future war against the Arab country.

The Israeli cabinet has approved the construction of 350 new settler units in the occupied West Bank irrespective of an international outcry against the Tel Aviv regime’s settlement expansion policies in Palestinian lands.

Israeli military forces have detained six members of the Islamic Jihad resistance movement in the central part of the occupied West Bank on the allegation that they were planning to carry out attacks against the Tel Aviv regime’s minister of military affairs Avigdor Lieberman and other Israeli officials.
